Below are the steps for turning the water back on to your hose bibs (AKA spigots or outdoor faucets).
Step 1. Make sure the hose bibs are OFF/CLOSED (righty-tighty).
NOTE: There are 3-4 hose bibs: (1) outside by the front door, (2) in the garage, (3) on the rooftop terrace, and (4) on the kitchen deck, if you have one.
Step 2. Make sure hose bib drain is CLOSED.
The Hose Bib Drain Valve is in the mechanical closet in the garage. The knob should be intersecting/perpendicular (+) to the pipe (as if blocking the flow of water to the drain) when the drain is CLOSED.
If the knob is parallel (||) to the pipe, the drain is OPEN. To CLOSE the drain, turn the knob "righty-tighty" one-quarter turn so the knob is perpendicular (+) to the pipe.
This is a PHOTO of what ON and OFF look like (not the actual valve).
Step 3. Turn ON the water to the hose bibs.
The Hose Bib Shut-off Valve is in the mechanical closet in the garage. When the knob is perpendicular (+) to the pipe (as if blocking the flow of water to the hose bibs), the water is OFF.
To turn it ON, turn the knob "lefty-loosey" one-quarter turn, so the knob is parallel (||) to the pipe (as if water can flow past it).
Step 4. OPEN (lefty-loosey) each of the hose bibs to make sure water is flowing.
Step 5. CLOSE (righty-tighty) each of the hose bibs and check for leaks.
After making sure there are no leaks, you can attach your hose, if desired.
